This handbook can be used to review the main approaches to using gender-sensitive indicators, and to determine which type of indicators to use. It concentrates on gender integrated and WID (Women in Development) specific projects with an end-user/local stakeholder focus. It should be used as a companion to the more comprehensive "Guide to Gender-Sensitive Indicators", which contains fuller discussions of concepts, methods, and case studies.

This Guide explains why gender-sensitive indicators are useful tools for measuring the results of CIDA's development initiatives. It concentrates in particular on projects with an end-user focus, and shows how gender-sensitive indicators can and should be used in both gender integrated and WID (Women in development)-specific projects, and in combination with other evaluation techniques. After introducing concepts, the Guide reviews the techniques of choosing and using indicators at the project level, so that CIDA staff can utilise them as an instrument of results-based management.
